1 Biocontrol of Poa annua W. J. Johnston and C.T. Golob Crop & Soil Sciences Washington State University 2017 NTA Conference Suncadia, WA Oct. 1 3, 2017

2 D7 biocontrol How it all started Poor growth of winter wheat in spring (Lloyd Elliott) Yellow winter wheat

3 Poor growth of winter wheat in spring High numbers of Pseudomonas on roots Toxin was selective against cultivars (Elliott) What about grass weeds? Control + Bacteria

4 Weed-suppressive bacteria Colonize residue/root Survive well at low temperatures Not competitive at warm temperatures Go dormant during hot, dry summer Produce plant-suppressive compounds Members of the genus Pseudomonas Research by Ann Kennedy, USDA, WSU

5 Plant-Suppressive Compounds No visible lesions No signs of pathogenicity Inhibit root cell elongation Interrupt tiller initiation Root stunting Reduce seedling vigor Reduce tiller number Reduce seed number

6 P.f. D7 colonization of root P.f. D7 on wheat seed P.f. D7 is carried down wheat root, intercepts and grows down downy brome root

7 Pseudomonas fluorescens strain D7 Active Compound(s): Chromopeptide, peptides, fatty acid esters & polysaccharides All must be present for activity Reduces lipopolysaccharide production - No cell elongation Genes: Multiple loci (very unlikely to mutate)

8 SCREENING >10,000+ isolates Isolate Soil/Root Bacteria after freeze/thaw 100% Bioassay weed Does not inhibit weed Inhibits weed Control 50% Bioassay beneficial plants Bacteria Inhibits beneficial plants Does not inhibit weed or inhibits beneficial plants Does not inhibit beneficial plants 1% Test in greenhouse soil Inhibits weed, not beneficial plants 0.5% Field tests Does not inhibit weed, inhibits beneficial plants, or does not survive Inhibits weed, not beneficial plants Autoclave BIOCONTROL AGENT

9 D7 - Good match for biocontrol Bacteria produces selective toxin at low temperatures that inhibits root growth Reduces competitiveness of weed in fall and spring Allows other plants to be more competitive

10 Species inhibited by P.f. D7 Downy brome California brome Mountain brome Jointed goatgrass Medusahead Greenhouse studies P.f. D7 DOES NOT INHIBIT Bromus tectorum Bromus carinatus Bromus marginatus Aegilops cylindrica Taeniatherum caput-medusae P.f. D7 inhibits some grasses, but little else

11 Characteristics of downy brome are similar to Poa annua: Invasive, competitive weed Germinate in the fall and spring Competitive low temperature root growth Produce many tillers and seed

12 Field Studies Winter wheat no-till planted Natural infestation of downy brome; Benge, WA Inoculated Plot Control Plot Downy brome was inhibited by bacteria in the field

13 % Reduction of Downy Brome WA Winter Wheat Field Trials P.f. D7 applied in fall as spray; counts taken following spring. 1% SOM 1% SOM 3% SOM 2% SOM Biomass * Tiller # Seed # No D7 Survived * = P < 0.05 P.f. D7 must survive to suppress downy brome

14 Herbicide efficacy - growers wanted weed reductions in first year one Years later - growers mention patch-work of downy brome and no downy brome in treated fields

15 Pasture Field Trials, Pullman, WA P.f. D7 applied as spray in fall Control Applied 2004 Pictures Bacteria

16 Cheatgrass Plants (Percent) Cheatgrass Reduction with P.f. D Saddle Mt, WA Rock Island, WA Colton, WA Pullman, WA P.f.

21 2016 NTA Research/Education Grant Application Two Proposals: 1. Biological Control of Poa annua in Fairways 2. Poa annua Control in Fairways Chemical Programs NTA April 7, 2016 The Research Committee and Board feel that [the] two submitted studies are related closely enough to be considered as one study.

22 year studies Chemical followed by Biocontrol (2016) Fall (2015) Biocontrol vs. Chemical Fall (2015) Spring (2016) Biocontrol vs. Chemical

23 3-year Study: Chemical control followed by biological control

27 18 WAIT (September 6) Tenacity 4 fl oz/a + Xonerate 1 oz/a Tenacity 4 fl oz/a + Xonerate 1 oz/a Herbicides applied May 2, May 23 and June 13

28 Charles Golob s thoughts (Nov Wa Weed Sci. meeting): Tenacity/Xonerate treatments did not eliminate Poa but did result in significant reductions of Poa in the Kentucky bluegrass stand. However, the high level of Poa injury and depressions caused by the Tenacity 5 fl oz/a + Xonerate 2 oz/a treatment leaving pock marked fairways may result in undesirable playing conditions during the peak of the summer when play is highest. (Eventually KBG did grow into and fill these depressions by the end of the study). Tenacity 4 fl oz/a + Xonerate 1 oz/a also resulted in high levels of Poa reduction. However, this treatment did not cause Poa to quickly disappear, thus not creating open areas (depressions) in the fairway. This may be a more desirable Poa control option to consider in terms of playability. Complete Poa control was not achieved with any treatment in this study, therefore, a multi-year program may need to be looked at to possibly achieve this goal or maintain Poa at lower levels.
